01 What makes it unique
Ember lists the 2027 Overland Series 191MSL at 5,220 lb unloaded (UVW), with a GVWR of 6,105 lb, a cargo carrying capacity of 885 lb and a hitch weight of 695 lb. Its UVW plus its cargo capacity comes to exactly its GVWR.
It is 22' 6" long and 10' 9" high with the air conditioner, with 55 gal fresh, 35 gal grey, 35 gal black. Fresh water weighs about 8.3 lb per US gallon, so a full fresh tank uses roughly 457 lb of the cargo capacity before anything else is loaded.
Among the 6 Overland Series floorplans Ember lists for 2027 with a published weight, it is number 2 by unloaded weight, in a range from 4,945 lb (190MSL) to 6,955 lb (240TKR). Every figure in that comparison is Ember’s, for the same model year.
Every number on this page was read on 5 Nov 2026 from Ember’s own floorplan page for the Overland Series 191MSL, whose structured data names the model year 2027.
How the 191MSL differs from the other five Overland Series floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.
- Cargo capacity, 885 lb: smallest of six; next is the 190MSL (985 lb).
- Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 14.5%: smallest of six; next is the 190MSL (16.6%).
- Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 13.3%: largest of six; next is the 221MSL (13.1%).
- Dry weight, 5,220 lb: second-lightest of six, between the 190MSL (4,945 lb) and the 201FBQ (5,760 lb).
- GVWR, 6,105 lb: second-lowest of six, between the 190MSL (5,930 lb) and the 201FBQ (7,250 lb).
- Tongue weight, 695 lb: third-heaviest of six, between the 201FBQ (690 lb) and the 221MSL (800 lb).
- Length, 22 ft 6 in: shortest of six, level with the 190MSL; next is the 201FBQ (24 ft 1 in).
Next to the 190MSL, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 191MSL is 275 lb heavier by dry weight, has a GVWR 175 lb higher, has 100 lb less cargo capacity and has a tongue weight 50 lb heavier; the two publish the same length, exterior height, fresh tank, grey tank and black tank.
Next to the 201FBQ, the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 191MSL is 540 lb lighter by dry weight, has a GVWR 1,145 lb lower, has 605 lb less cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 5 lb heavier and is 1 ft 7 in shorter; the two publish the same exterior height, fresh tank, grey tank and black tank.

Towing it
Check your vehicle. Enter the ratings from your owner’s manual and the door-pillar placard.
Compares your figures with this page’s published GVWR (6,105 lb) and the upper loaded tongue estimate (916 lb, a rule of thumb). Your vehicle’s placard and the trailer’s own weight label govern.
Loaded range: 10–15% of GVWR on the tongue, a rule of thumb, not a measurement of this unit. No truck ratings or hitch classes (why; NHTSA, DOT HS 809 433). The range starts at the published figure, because loaded is never lighter than that.

04 Notes on this floorplan
What Ember does not publish for the 191MSL
Ember’s page prints no axle count and no interior height against this floorplan, so none is given. Nothing is filled from a sibling floorplan, a different model year or a dealer listing.
Read the label on the trailer
Federal rules put a load-carrying label inside every RV trailer: its unloaded weight with full propane, its cargo carrying capacity and its GVWR (49 CFR 571.110 and 571.120). Those figures come from the trailer itself and govern the towing decision.
05 How it compares
4,945 lb UVW and 5,930 lb GVWR, against this plan’s 5,220 lb and 6,105 lb.
5,760 lb UVW and 7,250 lb GVWR, against this plan’s 5,220 lb and 6,105 lb.
06 Loading it for a trip
A full 55-gallon fresh tank is about 457 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.2), 52% of the 191MSL’s 885 lb cargo capacity, leaving 428 lb (71 lb per rated berth). Across 6 Overland Series floorplans the water share runs 22% to 52%, and this plan’s is the highest. Nearest on that share: Overland Series 190MSL at 46%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.3).
07 Where this floorplan sits

They match on length, fresh tank, grey tank and black tank.
